Our top story, by @candicebernd.bsky.social: A Texas Observer analysis found since 2021, at least 60 cryptomines have been developed or are under construction in at least 33 counties statewide. Experts worry our grid, and water supply, can't handle the load.

One of the most striking findings from the NBC News Poll is that 43% of Americans identify with the No Kings Protest Movement. Support is both larger and broader than MAGA. No Kings supporters are also more likely to have high interest in the midterms than MAGA supporters.

For nearly a decade, I’ve fought Greg Abbott in the Texas House over his schemes to hand out no-bid contracts to his donors, attack our public schools, and let big corporations profit at the expense of Texans. I’m never going to stop fighting back.

Republicans could have passed an actual budget with a simple majority through reconciliation. They didn’t have the votes within their own party to pass their own legislation, which is why Republicans *chose* a CR which *requires* them to negotiate with the minority party 🧵
